You may be familiar with the Ignite talk format: a five-minute presentation with 20 slides that automatically change every 15 seconds. It's a challenge, but can be fun and interesting for both presenter and audience.

If you are attending EclipseCon France, and have an interesting idea for an Ignite Talk, we invite you to submit! The Ignite sessions will begin at 17:45 on June 5, the first day of the conference.

To submit, please send email to ignite@eclipsecon.org, and include the title of your talk and a short description. You will be notified by Wednesday, May 29 if your submission is accepted.

How CERN scaled up Eclipse for the LHC: Well, it is CERN and the LHC, so we can now imagine developers using Eclipse to discover the origin of the universe! Incidentally, 20 years ago a researcher from CERN published the first web page. So 20 years later, I am curious to see how they manage their Eclipse distros (a hot topic for Polarsys) and what benefits they get.

Scala in Eclipse, Eclipse in Scala: I particularly like this presentation because it approaches the topic (Eclipse and Scala) from both sides: what tools can you use to write Scala code in Eclipse, and how can you write Eclipse plugins in Scala. I am eager to see my co-workers at Obeo eventually write their plugins in Scala.

Pierre Gaufillet, AIRBUS. I am a member of the methods and tools team supporting the development of avionics software. Safety of software in airborne systems, real time architecture design, modeling, code and doc generation, and Eclipse deployment are our daily bread. I am also the chairman of the PolarSys Industry Working Group.

Live collaborative modeling goes industrial For years, I've been working with modeling tools in various contexts, and let's face it – teamwork has never been supported correctly. It seems things are changing now with the maturation of frameworks like CDO and with the emergence of a few concepts like short duration automated locks that will be shown during this talk.

Software Quality: the Eclipse Way and Beyond Who hasn't wondered if open source components are mature enough to be deployed in their project? The goal of this work is to provide a grid that will help evaluate this maturity. It is also the first step to improve and follow up in constrained contexts like PolarSys.
